Gonna fly fly away over the mountain

Gonna fly fly away over the sea

Gonna keep flying around and never never come down

'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me



Got a gal out in Wyoming and a gal in Tennessee

One thing they got in common they want no part of me

Oh a girl here on earth is more trouble than she's worth

So I'll leave them all behind yesiree



(Gonna fly fly away over the mountain) (DM) Mountain

(Both) Gonna fly fly away over the sea

(Both) Gonna keep flying around and never never come down

(Both) 'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me



You will find me playing leap frog with the man up in the moon

Have myself a time each evening sleep each day 'til noon

And the bluebirds I'll bet let sing in their quartet

And we'll harmonize a barbershop too



(Both) Gonna fly fly away over the mountain

(Both) Gonna fly fly away over the sea

(Both) Gonna keep flying around and never never come down

(Both) 'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me



Gonna hobknob with the angels who would want a better crowd

Gonna dance all over heaven and boy will I be proud

Gonna play peek-a-boo with the stars up in the blue

And when I get tired I'll rest on a cloud



Gonna fly fly away over the mountain

Gonna fly fly away over the sea

Gonna keep flying around and never never come down

'Cause the big blue sky is the place I want to be

Gonna fly away over the sea

Yes the big blue sky is the place for me
